Museums are redoubling their inventiveness to offer virtual tours and a cultural offer adapted to the health context imposed by Covid-19. At château de Malmaison, just a few minutes from Paris, a mobile application allows you to discover the castle in a fun way. than to spot the strange creatures which invaded the rooms on the occasion of the street art exhibition “Imperial Chimera, vandal chimera” by artist Codex Urbanus.
Instead of audio guides, a mobile application...
The Château de Malmaison, in partnership with the Rueil-Malmaison Tourist Office, wanted to offer an alternative to audio guides, which could not be made available to visitors. While the visit conditions are optimal for discovering the Château de Malmaison (no more than 30 visitors at a time!), The difficulties in organizing guided tours and the need to avoid gatherings have made this virtual tour a real solution for support young visitors despite everything. Malmaison Castle, easily accessible by public transport from La Défense, is a good idea for families who would like to enjoy the All Saints' Day holidays with their children while avoiding the crowds.
A fun sightseeing experience for kids
It is therefore a very real visiting experience, but accompanied by a fun route that is offered to young audiences.

After listening to an audio track, children can answer a question or play a simple game to complete their assignment.
